It can have good days and bad but from growing up here I have noticed how unsafe it is to go put at certain hours or certain places. For example I would not go near myross past 8pm or 6pm when it is dark earlier.

Limerick is typically safe during the day but if you are of Indian descent of of the region beware of you teenage boy groups. They tend to set off fireworks close to halloween and new yeara and with the rise of racism Asians are at the forefront of their stupid actions. Otherwise Limerick is very welcoming and aside the loud city life its enjoyable!

If you stay in the right places and in a group you’ll be generally okay, keep the head up and mind yourself. My Mexican friends have experienced discrimination however and these people don’t hesitate to put hands on you- idk how common this is though. Do we really feel safe anywhere?
